 Being lesbian definitely doesn't make things easier, it honestly makes things harder. So if you are thinking that it's not, listen up. Here's the things I have come up with that us, as LGBT teens have to deal with..

-Figuring out and discovering your sexuality and gender (who knew it would be so hard.?) 

-Dealing with homophobic/transphobic people

-Dealing with those, "It's just a phase" comments. (It is NOT a phase, ok?) 

-Having unaccepting family/friends

-Having people out you without your permission (my mom did and I was so pissed) 

-When people assume you are straight (So annoying, right?)

-When people say that, "But they have a (insert body part here), so they must be a (biological sex) ." (NO. If he/she/it/they says they are a girl/boy/otherwise, then that's what they are, dammit.) 

-Having same-sex crushes on your friends (soo hard) 

-Dealing with bullies 

-Suicidal Thoughts/Self Harm/Depression

-Figuring out when you should come out and who you should come out to.

-Trying to find a boyfriend/girlfriend/otherwise.

-Transitioning Genders

I know they are MANY more struggles with being an LGBT teen, but I couldn't list them all. Feel free to re-blog and add some more on.

I love you all!
